These were done two weeks ago. I've been working on my film so no time for studies right now. Especially since I'm in no hurry to finish the anatomy book. I can apparently keep renewing it forever AHAHAHAHAH.

One way or another, there will be a post tomorrow. I've got another stash of life drawing, and one of the them is in COLOUR! Just what you've been waiting for.

Finally got to my still life, and it looks like butt. Rendering is not something I like to do, so I stopped after an hour. Maybe in the future I will get better? I will do at least two more B&W studies before I move into colour, depending on how quickly I improve.

Real short today. Ran errands for most of the day, so had no time to draw. Dipping into my backlog of new art, this is probably my last portrait of roomie Will. He's moving out and I'm never gonna see him again. Unless I go and find him in Kansas. Which I probably will.

This is my first round of hogarths with cs5 on my new laptop. It's so much more pleasant to draw on this thing, I can't even describe it. But actually I just started using the same method I do for life drawing in my studies, which is, starting with brushes and not lines.

These dudes are positioned roughly in the same poses as the guys from the book, and I occasionally glance at it for reference, however they are lit from imagination. They are in chronological order, done today and yesterday. By the end I started to experiment with different brushes and I think I kinda like it. Got inspired by LINRAN's post on ca.org. I have a lot more stuff on the backlog, but sometimes I just forget to update. Most of the time, actually. Still life tonight. Finally.

First comes the hogarth dump. I started to put twice as much time into these, hoping to render them realistically. However, this is not all that useful without still life practice, which I'm going to do tonight or tomorrow.

So.. I graduated. Everyone's been congraduating me but I don't really feel that accomplished. All I did was not quit school, which, admittedly, would have been a more rational choice if I chose to pursue live action. Anyway I have a lot of paintings on the backlog. I'm starting work on my film tomorrow and returning to daily studies. Finally schoolwork is out of the way. I'm pumped.
